Former NTT IndyCar Series President Jay Frye has joined Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing as its team president, it has been announced.

Frye, who was let go of his duties from the open-wheel series in February, will report directly to team ownership, as part of a shakeup that has seen Steve Eriksen depart from his role as chief operating officer.

Eriksen had served as Team RLL’s COO since January 2023, having been brought on in the wake of then-team president Piers Phillips’ departure.

“First, I would like to thank Steve Eriksen for all of the work he did for us, particularly at a critical moment in time for the company and we certainly wish him the best in his next endeavor,” said team co-owner Bobby Rahal.

“I’m very pleased to have Jay Frye join the team as president of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.

“I’ve known him since his arrival on the IndyCar scene in 2013 and have spent a lot of time with him and think highly of his character and his passion for the sport. I look forward to working with him in the future to take RLL to the place we all want it to be.”

Frye added: “Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has a tremendous history of success, both on and off the track.

“I am very proud to be joining the dedicated and talented team of people at RLL. RLL has the foundation, infrastructure and an incredible commitment to continue being successful well into the future.”
